BURBANK >> A man and woman from Reseda pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges that they broke into a Burbank beauty products store and stole more than $19,000 worth of perfume.

Giovanni Lopez-Valencia, 27, and Mariel Miranda-Guerra, 33, were arrested early Sunday in the 21000 block of Roscoe Boulevard in Canoga Park after the GPS tracking devices on some of the perfume packaging helped authorities locate the stolen items, according to Burbank police.

Officers sent to Ulta Beauty, at 1351 Victory Place, on a report of a smashed window and burglary alarm activation just after midnight Sunday discovered a shattered storefront window and a substantial quantity of fragrances missing from the store.

With the assistance of Los Angeles police and air support, Burbank police were able to track the location of the perfume through the GPS tracking devices, and the stolen fragrances and several items and tools commonly associated with burglary and theft-related offenses were found in the vehicle after it was stopped, according to Burbank police.

Lopez-Valencia and Miranda-Guerra were arrested at 1:20 a.m. Sunday and have remained behind bars since then, according to jail records.

The two — who are due back in a Burbank courtroom May 16 — are each charged with one count of second-degree commercial burglary and grand theft. The recovered products were returned to Ulta Beauty, police said.
